So you know I love to sew knits right? Don’t believe me? Check out my reviews. Most of them are knits. I love ’em. There is no denying that. But after a while it can be, well, ho-hum. I mean yeah I can whip up a cool top in a matter of hours so what’s next?

Well, meet my new friend Janome CoverPro 1000CP

Yes, as of today I am proud owner of a coverstitch machine. This powerful machine will help me achieve the professional finish I’ve been craving for years. And now there is nothing stopping me.

The stars must be all lined up for this because around the same time Emily also decided to get this machine and both of us called Neverett’s who gave us an AWESOME DEAL on the machine. So we took a little trip today and two pretty machines followed us home!

Sky is the limit now! Oh I am so happy. My b’day came early this year.

Update: I had to try the machine the day I brought it home, so I quickly cut out a top and hemmed it. I even undid the twin needle stitching on one of my earlier tops to redo it with the coverstitch. And I NEVER fix things (more on that later)…
